The positioning of this game is vague. Although it has the IP of Pokémon, the puzzle-solving process is lengthy, and the visual effects and gameplay have almost no new ideas.
The game itself is a family-oriented visual novel, so the game puzzles are relatively simple and more suitable for younger age groups; however, the game story theme is more depressing and dark, which seems to be more suitable for adults.
The graphics of "Detective Pikachu: Lightning Returns" are also disappointing, looking more like a 3DS platform work, and the game lacks facial animation, with each character only having two expressions.GameSpot 6 points
This game is a good reasoning game suitable for people of lower ages. In the classic "adventure game style", most of the player's investigations focus on "finding clues from the scene".
The game has interesting cutscenes and humorous narrative style, and the big star Detective Pikachu adds a lot of charm to the game, but the puzzles and design are too simple, reminiscent of "a test you encountered in elementary school", so the game It's hard to recommend it to anyone above teenagers.
